Whether 50011 notions as these ever
drifted lazily through the brain of
Hector, Grant is Motto' of little mo-
ment. They might well Neve done
so; yet it is more than likely that
they did not, for In Ina the times of
greatest stress begin without blare
of trompets or roll of drums and tho
chief actor, though ho can noc but
take his cue, knows next to nothing
of how his part is to oxpand, or
with what supreme consummation it
is to and,
Thus, when Don Miguel asked for
an interview, Eector did not foreseo °rosily, by her unparalleled etc -
that what the old general had to •money." And then loo added with
say was the first speech of the lest that tooth of chaaming exaggera-
act in the derona-tbo drama that tion so C01111/1011 in the Southerner,

"But ono thing more, senor, You
have not inquired what dispositions
havo made regarding my droeg.hter.
You ought to know. Let me tell
yon. I took het back to Fripmeta,
and placed her molar the charge of
my brother's widow, Dona Concep-
cion. Again and again 1 strove
with her to make submission to
her Maiestes but I found her hard in
hate and evil spirit. I was cora-
l/oiled at last to signify my will to
the effect that as soon as Palm

all possibility of her injuring the
Queeu or you. She agreed to this,
not without some demur, yet readily
enough to satisfy me. But I had
reckoneti without the devils that
possessed leer, that still possess her.
She had fled from Fr/genet°, and at
the same time, Major di Borja, one
of the ITiepaniolan prisoners quar-
tered at Friganata., has achived his
freodom. Circumstances show thot
they went together. I have made

"You. had' -better report this to

And so, innocently enough, the
last act was opened.

altered touched Hector's heart: he

wounded limb was still in a sling -
grasped tbe old man's with impol-

reconciliation made toore ilo tho
voice when Don Miguel spoke
"Senor Grant, you forgive me,
then ?"
"Yes, yes, if my forgiveniess is

That cleared all accounts, and we

"But I must offer you all the apo-
